“As a municipality we want to set a good example with regard to the environment: we invest in sustainability and enjoy being a leading light this area. We want to be green and invest in daylight but not if the sports centre turns into a sauna as a result. That was the problem with the existing light domes we had. It became extremely hot in summer in our judo hall. We had to paint our domes white just to make the indoor temperature bearable.”

Jan Burm, Environment and Energy Coordinator of the City of Sint-Niklaas
